①The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable（可预测的） plan.But scientists know there are very certain patterns that almost all people share.Even if you've passed some of your"best years"，you still have other best years to experience in the future.
② When are you the smartest？From 14-25，according to IQ scores，but you're wiser and more experienced with increasing age.You're the sharpest（灵敏的） in your twenties，around 30，memory begins to decline（下降），particularly your ability to do maths problems.But your IQ for other tasks climbs.Your vocabulary at age 45，for example，is three times as great as when you graduated from college.At 60，your brain has almost four times as much information as it did at age 21.
③ This trade-off（平衡） between sharpness and wisdom has led psychologists to suggest that "maturity quotients"（M.Q.） be adopted for adults.
④ When are you the happiest？You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24，the best professional sense（职业意识） from 40 to 49.Before age 24，we believe that our happiest years are yet to come；over 30，we believe that they're behind us.A National Health Survey agrees：After age 30，we "become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself.If we keep our health，achieve our goals，then happiness，we feel，will follow."
⑤ When are you most creative？Generally between 30 and 39，but the peak（顶峰） varies with different professions.Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by age eight，and Mendelssohn composed his best known work A Midsummer Night s Dream，at 17，but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.Though the peak in most fields come early-most Nobel prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's-creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives.For the "well-conditioned mind"，there is no upper limit（限制）.
27.What can we know from the passage？ ______
A. We are the smartest at the age of 45.
B. We are the sharpest in our twenties.
C. We have the best physical sense of ourselves from 40 to 49.
D. The peak of our creativeness is always between 30 and 39.
28.Why does the writer mention the musicians and Nobel prize winners in the last paragraph？ ______
A. To encourage students to learn from them.
B. To remember their great achievements.
C. To tell us how smart they are.
D. To show the peak of creativeness varies.
29.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？ ______
A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④⑤ D. ①②③④/⑤

①The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable（可预测的） plan.But scientists know there are very certain patterns that almost all people share.Even if you've passed some of your"best years"，you still have other best years to experience in the future.
② When are you the smartest？From 14-25，according to IQ scores，but you're wiser and more experienced with increasing age.You're the sharpest（灵敏的） in your twenties，around 30，memory begins to decline（下降），particularly your ability to do maths problems.But your IQ for other tasks climbs.Your vocabulary at age 45，for example，is three times as great as when you graduated from college.At 60，your brain has almost four times as much information as it did at age 21.
③ This trade-off（平衡） between sharpness and wisdom has led psychologists to suggest that "maturity quotients"（M.Q.） be adopted for adults.
④ When are you the happiest？You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24，the best professional sense（职业意识） from 40 to 49.Before age 24，we believe that our happiest years are yet to come；over 30，we believe that they're behind us.A National Health Survey agrees：After age 30，we "become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself.If we keep our health，achieve our goals，then happiness，we feel，will follow."
⑤ When are you most creative？Generally between 30 and 39，but the peak（顶峰） varies with different professions.Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by age eight，and Mendelssohn composed his best known work A Midsummer Night s Dream，at 17，but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 39.Though the peak in most fields come early-most Nobel prize winners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's-creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives.For the "well-conditioned mind"，there is no upper limit（限制）.
27.What can we know from the passage？ ______
A. We are the smartest at the age of 45.
B. We are the sharpest in our twenties.
C. We have the best physical sense of ourselves from 40 to 49.
D. The peak of our creativeness is always between 30 and 39.

A. To encourage students to learn from them.
B. To remember their great achievements.
C. To tell us how smart they are.
D. To show the peak of creativeness varies.
